The primary research interests of our department are:
- SGLT2 inhibitors (new medications used for treating type 2 diabetes) and consequences for patients undergoing surgery
- Efficacy and cost-effectiveness of ultrasound guided blocks for postoperative analgesia
- Applications of high flow nasal oxygen in high risk patients undergoing sedation or anaesthesia
- Applications and complications of supraglottic airway devices; these are devices that sit above the vocal cords and assist breathing during anaesthesia
- New applications of drugs as coanalgesics or co-anaesthetics in anaesthesia
